Layout Presets:
Golden Rectangle Proportion Map: Ratio: 1 : 1.618034
Major Section (A) 618 px (61.8%)
Minor (B) 382 px (38.2%)
Formula & Proof:
Major Segment A = Total ÷ 1.618034 = 618.03
Minor Segment B = Total - Major A = 381.97
Verification: 618.03 ÷ 381.97 = 1.618034 ≡ 1000 ÷ 618.03 = 1.618034 (Exact Match ✓)

How Does the Golden Ratio (\(\Phi\)) Work?

The Golden Ratio, denoted by the Greek letter Phi (\(\Phi\)), is an irrational number approximately equal to 1.6180339887. Two quantities are in the golden ratio if the ratio of their sum to the larger quantity is equal to the ratio of the larger quantity to the smaller quantity:

(A + B) / A = A / B = Φ ≈ 1.6180339887

UI & Web Layouts

Splitting page content into 61.8% main content area and 38.2% sidebar produces optimal visual weight and reading comfort for human eye scanning patterns.

Typography Scales

Multiplying a base text size by \(\Phi\) or \(\sqrt{\Phi}\) produces natural, harmonized proportions across titles, subtitles, and captions without guessing arbitrary sizes.

Photography & Art

The Golden Spiral (Fibonacci spiral) guides focal point positioning in photography and canvas composition, creating dynamic balance beyond the simplified Rule of Thirds.
